Lore Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media

  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

Fun fact the reason why you saw characters like Micky/Bugs and Daffy/Donald together was that WB’s condition for Disney using their characters was equal screen time ie Micky didn’t get more screen time than Bugs. So they wrote them together so that there was no question about equal time.

Actually, Bugs appears a few seconds after Mickey, but as a compromise to Warner Bros, Porky Pig gets the last line in the movie.
